Actual statistics, instead of wishful thinking.

After expressing my doubt about how wonderful the tourist season was -- I think it behooves me to keep track of the actual December local statistics where I can find them.

Today's Bulletin tells us "passenger boardings at Redmond Airport dropped nearly 6 percent last month over December 2011..."

Now I find these airport statistics to be very accurate.  When 9/11 happened the dropoff matched my own dropoff almost exactly.

Like I said, I'll be very surprised if everyone did as well this Christmas as the local tourism agencies are trying to make you believe.
